The efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in the treatment of pelvic radiation-induced late side effects

Background: The treatment of pelvic malignancies (uterine, cervix, rectum, etc) often include radiation. Radiation-induced late side effects (longer than 3 months) are developed in 5–10% of those patients. We wanted…
